PowerDVD

The best player for your multimedia library

The PowerDVD application has gone from being one of the most used tools for playing physical DVDs to being a complete solution for the organization and playback of any multimedia file.

The program lets you enjoy your entire library, organizing files into videos in general, movies or TV shows, music, and pictures. PowerDVD helps you to enjoy all of your files in any format, from the most popular to the much most specific formats.

From the library, you can effectively organize all of your folders containing physical files, DVDs and Blu-ray, with the option to also download cover images, resume playback from the point that it was stopped when the program was last closed, and even access movie or TV show reviews. Once the content is listed in the media library, it can be organized efficiently, looked at in calendar view, or, for example, display music by artist, album, or song.

In terms of video playback, the program includes practically every option that an application like this should incorporate, such as the option to add bookmarks, show main and secondary subtitles, karaoke settings, conversion from 2D to 3D format, stop motion capture, shuffle, full screen, the option to always keep the player at the top or even show technical information about each file (video format, audio channels, running time…).

Cyberlink PowerDVD also includes a feature called Cyberlink Cloud that can be used to automatically synchronize photos, videos, music, and playlists with all of your devices. You can drag any file from the file explorer to the Cloud for it to upload and automatically convert in order to optimize the playback experience in other devices.

The program also includes a shortcut to online video portals like YouTube and Vimeo. This way, you can watch any clip directly through the program and even store it locally to enjoy videos that are stored in your computer’s memory; this way, you can watch them even when you’re offline. Additionally, you can set the video quality whenever it’s available in the original platform and even activate the option to convert the video to 3D in real time.
